I don’t do well with fear. To rid myself of the fear I drank and drugged to numb it out. It’s Time For Love 46 By Julie Mills Later in life I got love and lust mixed up. I thought they meant the same thing. I figured I’d tell whichever lady I was sexually Love’s Unexpected Teachers 48 attracted to that I loved her. Usually it was enough to convince By Aimée Cartier her we were meant for each other. It would work for a while then “stuff” would come up and one of us would bail out.

Perhaps all our life’s lessons are to learn what love is. May Our Theme for the Next Issue... we all be open to these lessons and not buy in too much to what it isn’t. – Namaste’ Clyde Awakening PAGE FOUR JANUARY • FEBRUARY 2008 THE JOURNEY On Love When Love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Through the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, ࿘ Thought his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. THE PROPHET by Kahlil Gibran Alfred A Knopf Publisher NewYork 1923 CONTRIBUTORS Dr. Steven Post Dr. Steven Post knows loving kindness is beneficial to humans now all he has to do is prove it. He heads the Institute for Unlimited Love, in Cleveland, Ohio. It funds research at some of the nation’s top universities (page 6). He says unlimited love is the measure of one’s worth, in this world and beyond. “In the end, you think that you’ve had a successful life because you’re greedy and selfish and prosperous, guess what? The real measure comes at your funeral.” Eva Starr For regular columnist Eva Starr, the cliché “Love yourself first then the rest of the world will fall in love with you,” rings true in her life and in her work. She says many of her clients come to her having lived their lives for other people, hoping to receive love in return. “Some people even use abuse or power to get people to love them, when in reality the answer is in the mirror.” Take Starr’s Love IQ, (page 16) and see where you put yourself in your own life. Norm Williams Love is generally misunderstood, but its the source of great power, says author and speaker Norm Williams (page 12). He says unconditional love of the self and others is the real measure of an individual. “To me Love means a limitless unfailing caring and understanding. This entails a genuine demonstration of kindness that does not discriminate or expects anything in return.” Sandra Taylor New York Times Bestselling author Sandra Taylor (page 8) thinks Love, the most fluid, powerful force in the Universe, exists in accordance with our own loving energy. “To attract the most positive romantic experience,” she says “make sure you live with an intention of love—for yourself, for others, and for your own life.” In her experience as a writer and counselor, this peaceful, happy state always projects the most magnetic vibration possible, attracting Love with ease.
